Members El Glom-o Posted September 21, 2007 Members Share Posted September 21, 2007 I never had a Mattel M16, but I had a really nice Thompson, Garand, and .45 pistol. The Thompson was my favorite, but it fired those perforated roll caps that would eventually jam the mechanism with debris. The .45 and Garand used Greenie Stick-um caps.

That just re-inforces my view that people who have guns are stupid LOL :wave: I believe that Mattel actually did make toy M16's. I certainly saw some very realistic-looking ones in toy stores, but by then I was too old for toy guns. When I was of that age, WWII-style toy firearms hadn't been superceded by the Viet Nam-era gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M1 Carbine by Singer is believable because many manufacturing companies went to producing guns during WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
